PAUL SALISBURY EMERSON, OF TOTTENVILLE, YORK.

. summer-mama.

Be it known that I, PAUL S. Emerson, a citizen of the United States, residing at lottenville, in the county of Richmond and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in, Garment-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention has reference to an im roved garment hanger. Y

' bject is to produce a garment hanger constructed of a single strand of wire, the lower strands of which being so associated as to provide one ofthe same with a clamping arm having a hooked end to engage with the other strandand the hook of the hanger ber brought out of engagement with the base member.

Fig. 2 is a similar view but showing the hook folded against the body.

My improved hanger is in the main, constructed from a single strand of wire of a suitable gage, but has the hook 1 thereof hingedly connected to the body 2. The book.

is constructed in the usual manner, comprising two strands of wire bent upon them-' selves to provide the rounded or hooked portion and from thence continued straight, and the said straight portions are connected by a loop 3 that engages with a similar loop a on the central straight portion or stem 5 of the body 2. From the stem, the body isextended at opposite downward inclinations roviding the u per members or arms t of t esaid body. T e arms, at their outer ends are rounded upon themselves, as at 7 and continued inwardly in parallelism. One of the lower portions or arms is indicated Specification of Letters Patent.

' Application filed September 18, 1920. Serial No. 409,874.

for distinction bythe numeral 8, and. this v member 8 has its end terminating near the rounded end of the second base member 9 and col-led, as at 10, aroundthe said member 9. The member 9 is not otherwise connected to the member 8, the said member 9 having its free end formed with an ofiset hook 11 to engage with the member 8 when the member 9 is sprung against the member 8. The member 9 thusprovides a clamp which will effectively sustain a garment between the same and the member 8. In reality, the members 8 and 9 provide jaws.

between which the garment is clamped. The clamplng members engage trousers or the like, and the angle upper portion of the support receives a coat, vest, etc. thereon, in the usual manner.

It is thought that the foregoing descri tion, when taken in connection with t e drawings, will fully set forth the simplicity of the construction and the advantages thereof.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim, is A. garment, hanger ofv the character described comprising a body and a hook, said body and hook portion being constructed from a single strand of wire, the body hav- I ing its upper portion terminating to form a stem and having a looped end, the hook portion providing a stem which has a looped end to engage with the loop of the body, said body from the stem beingextended at opposite downward inclinations providing the upper members of said body, said upper members at. their outer ends being rounded upon themselves and continued inwardly in parallelism, one of said members havin its 'ends terminating near the rounded an of the second base member and coiled therearound, an ofi'set hook: provided on said base member at its free end to engage with one of the upper members, clamping means provided by'the basemember to efi'ectively sustain a garment between said base memher and the upper members.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

PAUL SSBURY- EMERSON.
